Every time 400,000 homes can be provided electricity on the Cape and on the Islands, that can mean more and cheaper electricity for you.

I'm with you except for one thing. By the time the costs of building and maintaining the ocean/land wind farms are amortized, it's not going to mean cheaper energy for me or the millions of people out there like me. I just don't see it. They tell us things are going to be better, then the expenses keep climbing anyway.

We have no (that I know of) hydro-electric power plants on the Mississippi. A lot of energy could be supplied that way. They could stick those windmills in the river even. In the end, it's not going to give us cheaper energy because somebody will ruin it. I'm just cynical about it.

It's all like one big mirage to me. I'd like to be proven wrong. We got a nuke plant. Did our energy prices go down? No, they have hit record highs.

We have to do something, but in the end, the little and middle people are going to get screwed over again.

If we continue to restrict the production and transmission of energy, then prices will continue to go up unnecessarily fast.

The costs of construction today is unnecessarily high. For example, if the politicans would allow cement production to be increased to meet the demands for cement, then the prices and availability would improve.

The price of energy is determined by the market place. If the production and transmission is politically restricted and limited, then pressure will be on for higher prices.

If the demands for energy continues to increase, the pressure will be on higher prices.

The results of doing nothing seems evident.

Doing something seems best.

Windmills are ugly, noisy, kill wildlife, are expensive to maintain, and not reliable. They do little to fulfill a nation's energy demand because backup energy sources must be on line when the wind is not blowing.

Nuclear power is the only way to solve our energy needs and even blockheads like Kennedy are starting to realize it.

The point here is Kennedy is a hypocrite because he advocates alternative energy for thee and me, but not for him and his rich friends.
